Urban Management (M.Sc.)

About

The continuing education masters degree in Urban Management addresses the currently most pressing challenges faced by urban conurbations, where upheavals, the pressure to adapt, and accumulated needs create special development tasks and problems. The program aims to equip you with the specialist knowledge required to practically address the problems involved in the management and design of such spatial transformation processes. Teaching is based upon examples drawn from real situations in a global context and places particular emphasis on combining various fields of action which are often treated in isolation. You will acquire a wide range of knowledge relating to organizational, administrative, legal, and fiscal issues in areas such as urban planning and renewal, housing development, environmental sciences, the planning of social infrastructures, and transport management. The program also focuses closely on the skills required for management, communication, and applying for positions.

You are required to pay tuition fees for this program. Details of current fees can be found on the website of the program.

The masters program trains you to be a generalist with a thorough understanding of integrated urban management acquired through both your specialization and a wide range of knowledge of related disciplines. As a graduate you are well versed in topics such as urban economics, resource management, spatial justice, urban planning trends, critical urban planning, environmental protection, urban poverty, and the regeneration of historical urban areas. Additionally, the program equips you with the skills to develop ideas in the area of urban management as well as to apply your knowledge, understanding, and abilities to solve problems in new and unfamiliar situations. You will further acquire skills in interdisciplinary strategy and concept development, in the interfaces between different areas, and transfer skills. The program also places great emphasis on key professional qualifications such as social skills, project management, intercultural communication, and team skills.
